  • 5/5 from Mary O'Sullivan, attended Aug 2025: Great class! So much fun!! Can’t wait to try to replicate at home!!
  • 5/5 from Jaclyn Deluca, attended Jun 2025: Amazing sushi making class with Chef Danny and Chef Armando! There were snacks and an open bar upon our arrival, as well as aprons to wear! We got to fry our own tempura veggies and shrimp. We then saw a demo for miso soup, hands on sesame chocolate chip cookies and finally our own sushi rolls and sashimi! The instructors were really sweet and patient with questions we had! I really enjoyed this class and will definitely be coming back.
